4:08 pm
president obama drew himself has already been crossed and we need to be doing more. >> sooner or later he most likely would in order to maintain his hold on power but what has happened here is the president drew a red line about chemical weapons thereby giving a green light to bashar assad to do anything sort of that including scud missiles and helicopter gunships and air strikes and mass executions and atrocities that are on a scale that we have not seen in a long, long team. >> harris: the obama administration saying there are still too many unanswered questions. congress from i'll grows. >> we had a little problem with going to the u.n. with the idea of weapons of mass destruction before so we certainly want to finish the investigation. >> harris: conor powell has more in the middle east newsroom. con are? >> reporter: a recently
4:09 pm
defected syrian general said he was ordered to use chemical weapons in the tunnels and caves used by rebels but says he rue fused the order and instead used disinfected water. this is the most recent claim that the assad regime used or tried to use chemical weapons. president obama said repeatedly that the use of chemical weapons would cross a red line forcing action but stopped short of saying what type of action would be taken. the white house is very concerned about the use of chemical weapons against rebels and civilians but equally concerned that the weapons may fall into the hands of extremist groups fighting alongside the rebels. president obama reduced expectations that the u.s. would intervene in syria any time soon. as the fighting rages on u.s. officials fear if the united states were to intervene and remove assad, things may just get worse. harris? >> harris: conor, thank you. a knife attack in new mexico leaves four people hurt. it happened in a place of worship.

4:21 pm
not long after that a pilot spotted plane upside down in the field. none of the three men onboard was seriously injured but they were hurt. now, the f.a.a. is investigating. a powerful but slow moving storm making its way east after dumping more than 6-inches of rain in a few hours in houston, texas. another severe storm is approaching the midwest where flood warnings are already in effect as the mississippi and dozens of other rivers are spilling over their banks. president obama already signed an emergency declaration for north dakota. the rising red river in fargo expected to peak soon. meteorologist janice dean is in the fox extreme weather center now. it is the season for this. it never gets any easier. >> it doesn't. a wait and see process. it will take until wednesday where we think it is going to peak. take a look at the red river where we are dealing with rapid snow melt. great temperatures this weekend, spring like. it melted the snow pack in some
4:22 pm
cases over a foot of snow still on the ground. so we are dealing with the melting snow is and then the storms that are moving in. so that is going to be an ongoing problem as we head into wednesday. so flood stage for the red river. 18 feet. we are at major flood stage right now. just a close to 30 feet. we are expecting it to crust around 37 feet and the record is 40.8 feet. you can see people are bracing. that is not the only area dealing with flooding. across the ohio river valley, missouri and then all of this feeds into the great mississippi river valley and this will be an ongoing situation throughout the next couple of weeks. we have is storm after storm moving into the region. let's talk about the storm that brought incredible amounts of rain over texas into towards tennessee. now, moving across the southeast towards the mid atlantic. still looking for the threat of severe today. earlier on today we had tornado warnings in and around the atlanta, georgia area. no warnings just yet but we want to make people sure that
4:23 pm
they are paying close attention if you live in the the regions could see hail, heavy winds, damaging downpours and, yes, even tornadoes. harris. >> harris: people talking about the fact we haven't is seen a real winter in many areas. the fact the snow is melting close to may is more evidence and truth that we had a real winter this year and in fact people are going to get snow in the next day or so. >> we could see snow on the first and send day of may. let's take a look at the next storm system that moves into the midwest where we have is the swollen rivers unfortunately, harris. we will deal with the potential for more flood and rainfall. then watch this system here across the northern rockies. some of the computer models are saying we are going to have some plowable snow over the central u.s. and this actually could be record-breaking. so late in the season. here is one of the computer models. across the rockies in towards nebraska and parts of missouri. we could get several inches of snow. so certainly something we need
4:24 pm
to monitor over the next couple of days. this could be a record-breaker and i'm sure people across the regehr like uncle, we are so done! >> harris: no doubt. and that extends the flooding soon, too because then all that snow has to melt and then we are going into june. >> absolutely. the one highlight here is that the area is into a severe drought. we are not into a drought situation any more athe midwest because of all of the rain. this region actually could use the moisture. so there is a silver lining. >> harris: you are the silver lining. >> aah. >> thank you. good to see you. >> good to see you any time. >> harris: the senate recently voted down his plan to extend background checks for guns. today one lawmaker says the fight is far from over. why the showdown over the second amendment could be heating up again. and they are the suspected faces of terror. one question looms large was the plot in boston too

4:31 pm

4:32 pm
terror involved here. >> there is no evidence at this point. the investigation continues but there is no evidence at this point that these two were part of a larger organization, tt they were in fact part of some kind of terrorist cell or any kind of direction. it appears at this point based on the evidence that i it is te two of them. >> the investigation continues to see what else if anything can be learned. harris? >> steve centanni, thank you very much. did lawmakers actually underand it the bipartisan gun control bill? one senator wants to give colleagues on the hill another chance at it, a second chance to read it. democrat joe manchin of west virginia says he will reintroduce the bipartisan bill that would require background checks at shows and online. he says he is not going to change a worded of it. he says the men and women of congress have to read and comprehend the 49 pages.
